I have never had to say it too many tmes.  This time seems like forever though.  I swore to myself that i would never involve myself with someone in the military.  I myself grew up a Navy Brat.  Too many times I had to watch hearts break when loved ones were seperated with a deployment.

You saw all sorts of tears.  The ones cried by children saying good-bye to their fathers, newleyweds departing for the first time.  But I also saw the fake tears.  Those cried by ones professing their undying love only to have their beds kept warm by another till the ship came back home.  Nothing pissed me off more then to see these people putting on an act only to have the security of a steady income and an ID card.

As it turns out, never say never.  I am with a wonderful man, a great father, and a perfect example of who I want my children to grow up to be like.  Most of he is the love of my life.

Even though it is going to break my heart having to say good-bye, my heart, my love and my life will remain true. I will honor him, love him, but most of all wait for him till he is back in my arms again.

Support our troops.  Bring them all home safe back to their families.  You guys are truelly making a sacrifise.  Thank You for everything you do.  To those that are left on the pier waiting, Your sacrifise isnt forgotten.
